Harbor at Wild Dunes Golf Links
About
Wild Dunes Harbor Course, designed by Tom Fazio, is said to be cut from some of the prettiest real estate in South Carolina. Water makes up a great deal of the Harbor Course layout. After all, half the course runs along the world’s longest water hazard, The Intracoastal Waterway. Fazio claims the Harbor Course to be one of his favorites. "Working on the Harbor Course was very satisfying to me as a designer because we had to create everything. It was a very challenging, and ultimately, a very satisfying project."

Nice Course but Expected More for the Price
The good things about the Wild Dunes Harbor Course
1: Staff is very welcoming and helpful.
2. Pretty course with beautiful views on most holes on the march/water.
3. Target Course with small greens which makes it interesting.
4. The drink cart came by a number of times; which is good because you never come back to the club house. Once you go out to the Marsh, you're not near anything (including bathrooms so stop at the one available before you hit the back part of the course).
5. The views are beautiful. Did I say that before (LOL).
The less than positive side.
1. Price (or more specifically value) - as a resort course priced at over $100 the golfers in my group expected a much higher-end experience. For example,
(a) The golf carts are old and do not have any GPS which is pretty much a standard in most courses we play (that cost $30 for 18 )in SC.
(b) With no GPS we purchased a yardage book. A good yardage book will describe the hole and where to hit it and other tips. Don't bother paying for the book unless you want to see an image of the hole.
(c) It was a nice course but not really outstanding for the price. The starter said the fairways were narrow but we felt they were very open. Perhaps if you have a bad slice or hook, you'd feel the fairways were tight. The greens are very small on many holes. I liked the challenge but my playing partners just found it very odd.
Also if you are wondering....
(d) No nine hole playing options
(e) No Senior rates
I enjoyed the course on a beautiful day, it was windy but not too windy and I think if it's really blowing hard, the course would be much more difficult.
If you are vacationing on the Isle of Palms - the Wild Dunes are really the only courses available to play (unless you want to drive a half hour away) so you are at the mercy of the golf course for pricing but if you really want to play and don't mind spending over $100 - go for it.
I don't think I will go out of my way to play this course again but as I said above, if you are there want want to play golf, go for it.
Always a Good Day
This was my third time playing this course and enjoyed it again. Course was in great shape and the pace of play was fine. With the wind blowing along the Intercoastal, holes 8, 9, and 10 can be killers. Looking forward to playing there again.
Harbor Course
Super narrow course, Gorgeous back 9 along the water, the fairways (if you can find them) are incredible. Some holes have pretty small greens to work with. Only downside are the biting gnats. Later tee times towards sunset are rough with the bugs
Barely enough room to play
This course is beautiful but very unfair for the weekend golfer for the price. They squeezed 18 holes onto the property. It’s like they HAD to make 18 hole golf course.
The course was tough but fair. Our only wish was there to have been a traditional bar/clubhouse to enjoy a post-round drink or a meal. Canned beverages and basic sandwich menu left a little to be desired.
Nice course, excellent condition, challenging as fairways narrow
Overpriced
Luckily I only paid $100 and not the $200 prime rate. Smallest greens I ever saw. Mediocre grass in fairways. No bathroom on course. Total hassle to park and use driving range. Very narrow fairways. Small tee boxes in mediocre conditions. Totally overpriced. Nothing special about views or layout. 6 par threes.
greens
excellent conditions with just the right amount of undulations...average speed and no blemishes.
I highly recommend!
Harbor links
Friendly staff, greens, fairways and tee boxes were great. Not a long course but definitely challenging. The wind conditions made it tough. I played it last summer as well. The course rewards accuracy off the tee.
Excellent
Again, this booking system provided the best tee time and for a reasonable fee. I felt very welcome at the course and received the best possible service!
Course was in decent shape. The smallest greens i have ever played. That was the only real draw back of the course.
